What price range should i expect to pay for a detached adu

[Marcos Urvina]

Hi!! I want to build a 800 sq ft detached 2 bdrm adu in my backyard ( ground up construction) and just have a few questions. I know you cant get exact amount until you provide plans but just want to get a general ballpark range i might expect. Im in southbay area gardena.

-What is the per square ft range price right now?

What price range for the build?

Thanks any info would be appreciated.

@Marcos Urvina - I've heard of someone converting a garage for as low as $30,000 doing the work themselves or $70k for a contractor to do it, but that's cheap. I was talking to someone and they spent $400k on their fancy 2 story ADU. Below is a website where people are averaging $297 per SF in Portland. I would expect LA to be higher. Many new builds are done for $300 - $350 a SF. I would expect ADUs to be in the same range.
